An Essence 4 with a beautiful birds-eye/quilt maple top, purpleheart accent and maple pinstrip. Your simple vol/pan/filter setup and abalone inlays. Just got it today and I absolutely love it! Feels great, sounds amazing. Just need to make a couple minor adjustments and away I go! Here are some web pics. Haven't taken my own yet. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/alembic_1910_21886386.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/Alembic_Birdseye_45.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b368/bassjigga/Alembic_birdseye_FullUp.jpg lidon2001 Advanced Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 235 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 01, 2006 - 4:26 pm:    Way to go David!

The Essence is a classic bass in my opinion. Sam bassjigga Junior Username: bassjigga Post Number: 50 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, November 02, 2006 - 5:25 pm:    Thanks guys. Yeah the top is gorgeous. Really shimmers in the light. I still can't get over the wide range of tones it's capable of just using the pan and filter. bassjigga Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 54 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 8:38 pm:    Finally got some of my own pictures.
